  It’s “mosca”, which it’s just a common fly

    Commenter gives a logical answer with information that is probably well-known for a good chunk of the world (Spanish speakers), yet it’s somehow still mind-blowing. Like “whoah, that’s where that came from!”

      In Spanish you have one tamal but two tamales. In English you have one tamale, two tamales. We incorrectly removed the pluralization from tamales and now we have this hybrid word, tamale.

  ‘Mosco’ is commonly used in different Spanish speaking countries. ‘Mosca’ is your regular house fly, ‘Mosco’ is used in some places to refer to the big black flies and horse flies.

    If you’re hard of hearing, you don’t need to suffer in silence. Help is available

      So I can suffer in noise? Sounds like a bad idea.

  Mosca exists and also moscardón

  • trigonated@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Same in Portuguese, except mosca and moscardo instead. They almost sound like a Pokémon evolution line

    source

    • Leviathan@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      When the mosquito drinks enough blood it becomes a Mosca and when a Mosca eats enough shit it becomes a Moscardó.
